Why does there have to be a moral high ground here? I am struggling to understand what people mean by this. I often get snarky comments from people who feel as if I think I am better than they are for choosing to live green…I don’t. Other comments include people suggesting that environmentally friendly choices are not for everyone or are not possible for everyone. Hmmmmmmm.

If you have decided that hunting and/or growing your own food, for example, is not for you, there are other alternatives like buying from local farmers. If you have chosen to use modern conveniences, there are other alternatives like reducing your use of them and recycling them (like if you have a microwave that no longer works, instead of dumping it have it fixed instead of buying a new one). I do believe that if there is any moral issue here, the moral thing is to do what you can do to lessen your environmental impact. That is something that is subjective from person to person, family to family, but even if all you can do is recycle one pop bottle a day, that’s a spark that will cause you to open your eyes to the possibilities for doing more in your life. The moral high ground is to choose that rather than feel a competition with others that are able to do more.
